The first time Ravi Shankar was arrested, he spoke out against racist policing on National Public Radio and successfully sued the city of New York. The second time, he was incarcerated when his promotion to full professor was finalized. During his ninety-day pretrial confinement at the Hartford Correctional Center--a level 4, high-security urban jail in Connecticut--he met men who shared harrowing and heart-felt stories. The experience taught him about the persistence of structural racism, the limitations of mass media, and the pervasive traumas of twenty-first-century daily life. Shankar's bold and complex self-portrait--and portrait of America--challenges us to rethink our complicity in the criminal justice system and mental health policies that perpetuate inequity and harm. Correctional dives into the inner workings of his mind and heart, framing his unexpected encounters with law and order through the lenses of race, class, privilege, and his bicultural upbringing as the first and only son of South Indian immigrants. Vignettes from his early life set the scene for his spectacular fall and subsequent struggle to come to terms with his own demons. Many of them, it turns out, are also our own.

This transformative collection of the teachings of renowned spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will help readers find balance, peace, and joy amid the ups and downs of everyday life. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has changed the lives of millions of people around the world for the better. Yet many in the West have not been introduced to his profound and practical approach to living a spiritual life. This book is meant to bridge that gap. In June of 1995, Gurudev began a weekly tradition of creating a short talk, often on a subject that was relevant to current events or in response to questions posed by audiences at his international gatherings. What resulted were powerful words of wisdom, accompanied by much celebration, laughter, and lightheartedness. This book is a collection of those transcribed talks, spanning almost a decade. Gurudev's teachings can make a huge difference in how a person lives their life, how they interact with their family, friends, and co-workers, how they understand the spiritual path, and how they walk it. This extraordinary compilation of insights can help readers on their journeys within, to that all-encompassing love, joy, and peace at their cores

Curriculum is a product - a document, which includes details about goals, objectives, content, teaching techniques, evaluation and assessment of academic resources. Successful curriculum development in a technical institute requires involvement of stakeholders namely students, faculty members, prospective employers and the management or authority of the institute. The interest of different stakeholders varies to a great extent. Although the philosophy and approach towards curriculum development are often the sole responsibility of the educators, to others it is perceived as an instrument to include the interests of the society at large. The main objective of this research is to model the quality issues related to the technical curriculum . This research attempts to consider few methods to model these issues. This would help the curriculum to become more effective by blending concerns of stakeholders like industry, management of the institutes and the internal requirements of students and faculty members of technical institutes.
